PARIS: Argentina kicked off their Olympic men's football campaign by beating Iraq 3-1 in Lyon on Saturday. Argentina, one of the pre-tournament favourites, suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Morocco in their Group B opener, marred by a pitch invasion by Moroccan fans and a two-hour delay. While Iraq threatened another surprise when Aymen Hussein equalized in first-half stoppage time, goals from Luciano Gondou and Ignacio Fernandez sealed victory for Argentina.
